Lock Huawei P8 Lite Bootloader - not "RELOCKED" - warranty for reparation

This tutorial was done by haky 86, I just made a small adaptation for dual SIM.

How to lock the own bootloader Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21 before sent to warranty for reparation?
Well, he found a way for this enigma and let's see together what should we do.
Requirements:
- Unlocked bootloader;
- TWRP recovery;
- ALE-L21C432B049 (B052 for dual SIM);
- ALE-L21C432B595 (B596 for dual SIM);
- ALE-B895 (B896 for dual SIM) (it's the Emui 4.1). Thanks to surdu_petru for uploading.
This rom should be installed and running before "lock the bootloader" so pay attention about the steps I did and what I mean.
Locking Bootloader:
- Do a factory reset by wipe all partition from recovery.
- Reboot to Bootloader.
- Flash via fastboot C432B049 (B052 for dual SIM).
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
- Do a factory reset from settings once the device is running and don't worry if you see unlocked bootloader.
- Now extract the UPDATE.APP from C432B595 (B596 for dual SIM), create a dload folder on sdcard and paste that update file inside it.
- Reboot the device by press vol up + vol down together and release them when update process is starting up.
- Now sit and drink something because update process can take some minutes with many automated reboots.
- Run OTA update as latest step.
- Now your bootloader should be "LOCKED" and not "RELOCKED" like the following image, happy locking..

Thanks! Will try that in a few days, when I get my new Mate 10. I don't want to mess up and be without a phone right now

Hi, i have my last days in warranty, after i lock my bootloader how can i brick it to send it to the reparation, hopefully they change my phone to a brand new one, or at least mainboard etc...

I guess you can't brick your phone with locked bootloader. This phone ain't that bad xD

Flashing a wrong boot.img will brick it? I mean old esal 2.2 for emui 4.1...Than if they don't accept it back, i will repair it.

I think you can't flash anything if you don't have unlocked bootloader.

They accepted my phones 2 times with booth unlocked bootloader with twrp, but why you need to brick it again if your bootloader is locked?

I don't think you will ever find a way to do it because whatever you do it will be solved with just reflash firmware. Sorry but you can't get another one that easy especially with locked bootloader

X50 RMX2144 Bootloader access

Hi
I'm looking for a method to access bootloader on the RMX2144 model (European version I think).
The in-depth app does not work, the model is not supported by the application.
I tried to run adb reboot bootloader but the phone reboot, show a message during half a second and then restart.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks in advance

I am not sure if installing TWRP without unlocking bootloader will be useable for installing Custom ROMs or GSI ROMs. Without unlocking bootloader, installing these Custom ROMs may brick the phone. :crying::crying::crying:
Well I will keep looking for the solution for this also. Thanks for the update. :highfive:

Hello Bro,
There is a link here on XDA that explains how to unlock bootloader.
I just sold my phone so I don't have one to try. Please try this if this works on your RMX2025. If the app works on your model, then I will order the new X50 5G to unlock bootloader.
By the way, have you heard any updates from Chinese post for the problem unlocking bootloader?
I am looking for a solution to unlock bootloader on RMX2025.
:highfive:

The problems of unlocking the bootloader come because they are rmx2025?
The RMX2144 can be unlocked with the realme apk? He has problems? Is there a bootlop?
The only solution would be to access the recovery and install a rom for otg?
Thanks friends

My RMX2025 was not supported by the deep testing app for no reason. I have no RMX2144 but my best guess is this model is good to go with the deep testing app.
If you wanna install custom ROMs or GSI, unlocking bootloader is very necessary from my experiences so far. I have never been able to flash Android phones with no unlock bootloader once.
I would not recommend to flash custom ROMs via ADB, this may cause the phone to brick. And while your phone is not unlocked bootloader, unbricking it will be nighmare and hardcore. :crying::crying:

Unlocking boot is essential in order to install twrp or custom roms.
If the smartphone fails and brick, I think it could be restored through an otg installation from recovery stock.
I will risk unlocking the boot with the realme tool on the RMX 2144. If there is success I will comment on it
Thanks!

Hello Pal,
Any updates for unlocking bootloader for RMX2144? Now I have RMX2144. The phone is great except there is no custom ROMs yet. So sad. :crying::crying:
Edit: If we can unlocking bootloader, we can flash GSIs which are close to specific custom ROMs.

Hi. Friend. Unable to unlock bootloader with the tool. I understand that Realme no longer grants this option. Return the mobile and buy the POCO X3. Tomorrow I will have the permission to open the boot and be able to flash TWRP. Besides, POCO already has custom roms. I intend to install Q LeOs in the bit and not depend on Google services

Hi friend. Thanks a lot for your updates.
I will probably do the same. :good: For me, I don't mind if there is no Custom ROMs for this phone. As long as I can unlock bootloader I will be able to flash GSI. Xiaomi phones will be my replacement as well.
By the way, RMX2051 can unlocked but there is no Custom ROMs for this phone anyways. :crying:
Laters,

No good news yet so I guess we won't get any custom roms for this unit. To bad for a good phone otherwise but the lack of root/custom rom make me wanna cry, why doesn't realme help the community out. Think I will try to make a refund and get a xiaomi 10 lite or a poco instead.

Question Mi 11 No OTA Updates since launch

Hello, I pre-ordered the Mi 11 from my phone carrier (SFR, France) and so I own the phone since launch and there have been no OTA updates.
I'm running MIUI Global 12.0.2.0(RKBEUSF). I can't flash a more recent EU rom because I can't unlock my bootloader. Whenever I go to unlock status and press the button, it says something about it being impossible to verify, no matter what I do. I'm basically stuck with this rom. There are numerous bugs (notably gesture navigation doesn't work at all, the bar at the bottom doesn't do anything, I have to use the 3 buttons instead). Anyone know what to do? Thanks!

Google how to unlock bootloader for mi 11. There is a whole procedure to follow. Hitting the unlock button alone is not working.

but that's like the first part no? If I can't do this then I can't unlock it at all.

I had exactly the same ROM because i had the Mi 11 Cloud White with a fu****g RKBEUSF instead of RKBEUXM... So you can't upgrade in local mode.
You must ask for unlock bootloader, for this you must :
1/ Create a Mi Account
2/ Donwload Xiaomi Unlock available here
3/ Your Phone will be listed "Locked" (Blue) or "Unlocked" (Red), if it's locked, you must click Unlock for asking Unlock ticket, and you must wiat after that 168 hours [1 week]. Don't try to ask before this delay if not waiting delay is resetted.
4/ Before the Unlock you must save / backup all your data (DCIM, Contacts, SMS, etc...) because Unlock Bootloader causiing a full Wipe / Delete Data partition.
5/ After waiting 1 Week (i advise to try to unlock after 1 hour more for be sure), launch again Xiaomi Unlock, click unlock... Unlock process check Xiaomi servers... And it's done !
After that you will finally use Mi Flash Tool here and flash your ROM Global RKBEUXM in fastboot mode. You can found the lastest rom here : venus_eea_global_images_V12.5.2.0.RKBEUXM
You must extract the *.tgz (with a archiver like 7Zip or WinRAR) and put the path in Mi Flash Tool, and here we goooo for approximatively 8/10 minutes

Can i lock my bootloader afterwards to restore OTA updates?

The unlocker is asking me to connect my account on the mi unlock status page on my phone. I tried it (again) and this appeared. Nothing I do changes this. Any ideas?

Did you add the mi account on the phone? This is a good tutorial

I did but after removing it and adding it back, it finally worked. I'll proceed with the unlocking then.

But before I do it, I gotta ask. Does it void my warranty? Can I relock the bootloader afterwards? Can I receive OTA updates? Thanks!

Sure, after passed on EEA your bootloader will be relock. Unlock bootloader (for Xiaomi) do not void warranty.
Personnaly i prefer keep unlock on my 12.5.2 EU for Root.
After be passed on EUXM you will have OTA on your original canal, finish the custom EUSF (SFR)

Question Mi 11 with Vodafone RKBEUVF rom - how to swap to GLOBAL or EU? + some questions

Hi,
TL;DR - How to swap from Vodafone operators RKBEUVF Rom to Global or EU so I could keep using G-Pay. Preferably without unlocking bootloader
----------
Full version
I received a Mi 11 as graduation gift and found out that I have some kind of vodafone operators rom. I can't find any information about future support for this rom (It is still sitting on Mi UI 12.5.5 with Android 11). I've searched a lot of online topics about switching ROM and nothing works for me.
I was using XiaomiMiTool2
First - what I tried:
- https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-region-without-unlocking-bootloader.4351309/
- https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-global-without-unlocking-bootloader.4356497/
and plenty of other solutions from google. Nothing works.
I've tested multiple rom version both EU and Global (RKBEUXM/RKBMIXM) . I've managed to pass the token error but I still need to wait for unlocking bootlader.
I tried to install official ROM and Local Rom - as you can see on attached screenshots nothing works - in case of Official ROM I need to unlock bootloader and installing local ROM says "could not verify update". With Local rom I tried to use multiple Recovery and Fastboot rom versions (as you can see on screenshot) and nothing worked.

My questions:
- AFAIK unlocking bootloader will make my device "not secured" and I will not be able to use G-Pay? Can someone confirm it? I can unlock bootloader in 14 days the official way but I am afraid that I will loose option to use G-Pay.
- I heard that after unlocking bootloader and flashing rom I can lock bootlader again - but If I flash the wrong ROM I will brick my device. This Vodafone ROM seems to be EU version - will I brick my device if I'll lock the bootlader after flashing EU or Global ROM?
Is there any info about this Vodafone rom support? To be honest If I'll get updates even 6 months later than EU/Global I would not mind but I want to make sure that this rom version will be supported at all in the future
Can I somehow flash rom without unlocking bootloader? As currently I need to wait 14 days to unlock bootloader the official way

it's very simple: you unlock your bootloader, you flash the last EU rom 13.0.4.0SKBEUXM with miFlash and lock option. TADA ! G-Pay working

Thank you kind sir!
Yea, that's my last resort but I just wanted to be sure that I will not brick my device after locking bootlader. I've heard that if you load in a wrong ROM you can brick device.

EUVF or EUXM are the same region. You can relock your bootloader without problem. I did it with a EUOR (orange) to EUXM

Can you tell one last thing - how to lock bootlader? Or will the XiaomiTool2 will automatically lock my bootloader after swaping rom?

In MiFlash there is an option named : " clean and lock

I'll be able to unlock bootloader in 5 days and report my results here later.
I was kind of worried because in Mi 11 settings (as you can see blow) it is said that I have global version but the rom indicated that its actually EU rom.

I had the same doubts, Global description is confusing (like most of actions done by Xiaomi in fact it is EU ROM for sure. Unlock it when time comes, flash EUXM fastboot and lock it, should be ok. Like I mentioned, in my case everything went fine. Watch couple of tutorials on YouTube, it can be helpful.

Which tools did you use exactly? I plan to download newst EUXM ROM and use official MiFlash option "clean with lock".
I thought about using XiaomiTool2 but I am not sure if it will automatically lock the bootloader again.

XiaomiTool2 didn't work. I used MiFlash, clean with lock, exactly. Just remember to download fastboot stable ROM .

Hello.
I have problem with my mi 11 bought from Vodafone.I took the phone from ebay from person bought it straight from Vodafone.The phone was with miui 12.5.I saw that and decided to unlock bootloader and flash xiaomi.eu or global.Everythings is okay, but in the moment when i put the simcard(no matter slot 1 or 2) the phone try to register it in the carrier network (not Vodafone) for maybe 15 seconds without success.After this period it restart to miui recovery....
If i put the simcard, make factory reset there are no issues.The phone took the sim and work... To the moment when i remove the sim, and after put it back, same story... I must do factory reset to get success....
Tried 2 versions of xiaomi.eu and the official global stable...
(My bootloader is still unlocked)
Any advice guys, never before i didn't get this type of problem....

Unlock the bootloader

Have you tried formatting data on that locked state to maybe fix that device verification? I don't know if it works but you can use the OTA update rename trick to I guess switch region on locked bootloader. I don't know if it works because I personally haven't tested it. It works in downgrading though.

Don't. Bad idea. Never downgrade by changing and renaming the zip file after verification in updater app WHILE still being locked. Chances are you might brick your phone.
If you have unlocked before, try to run "fastboot oem unlock" in fastboot mode to unlock it again. You should be able to unlock it without needing Mi Account.

Not working

Alright that didn't work as expected. I noticed mi unlock flashed unlock.bin to the unlock partition at first time unlocking bl, so I assume that partition would still be intact even you have relocked it.
Try to unlock it using mi unlock and your account which use to unlock, no need to bind the mi account again since it won't work anyway.
